This destination is only a short boat ride away. After just 30 minutes boat riding, we arrive at a mangrove maze made out of series of islands approximately 11 miles northeast of Key West. We will park our boat somewhere knee deep shallow, over a nice sandy bottom – so you can walk around and take pictures, swim or snorkel in turquoise water and sandbars.
Do you want to see some of Florida’s most beautiful beaches? If so, then the Key West National Wildlife Refuge Island is one stop that should not be missed. It has a gorgeous natural beach and is 15 miles west of Key West. On your way there, you may spot dolphins playing in the water! We can also stop at the sponge garden off one of the islands for some snorkeling. The water here is only 5 feet deep, perfect for families who are looking for an adventure without getting too deep!
The sandbar at Snipe Point is a popular destination for locals who spend their weekends boating. This island, often called “Snipes” – is extremely hard to find so boat rentals are unlikely to invade your space. You will be surrounded by locals and their families looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life on this gorgeous beach area.
*This destination is recommended on a 4hr trip

There is always a chance for that and we often do, however we can’t promise that you’ll see them because they swim around freely and do not hang out in the same place.
We do not. We are not a fishing charter and we think that our boat is just too pretty to have smelly fish guts all over it.
48hrs before the scheduled boat trip to get a full refund if you happen to change your plans. All our trips are weather permitting so we reserve the right to cancel your trip if we don’t think that conditions are safe – in this case you would get full refund also.
